Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Some freinds are going to a 'Fright Night' for halloween at Movie World on the Gold Coast and offered to have a dress rehersal so that the local photography club could run off a few frames in return for files. Studio lights used are my own which don't see light of day often enough. When I do get them out I struggle with lighting placement for the best effect because, you guessed it, I dont use them often enough. I run the photoography club and provide all the tuition so no pointers from other attending members  . Anyway here a few shots from the shoot, all processed differently, any feedback/advice for improvement on posing/lighting/processing would be greatly appreciated  I did not see the shadow from the edge of the dress on this one until I uploaded this.   Skin tones are too warm on this one especially considering the theme.  This one is a psuedo HDR - same image copied with exposure changes +1, +2, -1, -2 and 0, blended in Photomatix and converted to B&W  The original single image for above  Last edited by Geoff M on Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:02 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I like the toning in #2 and the B&W is good too.

Indeed. Very creepy especially when the eyeball moves, makes you wonder if 'anybody is at home'

Hi Geoff, These are basically pretty good... the poses are fine... but I would suggest a couple of modest processing changes. Firstly all these shots need to have the skin tones cooled down... remember these guys are dead (or at least not suppose to be quite so healthy and red blooded). Second the B&W needs some work to remove the shine from the face... a little more work but not too hard to sort in PS... I'm not too sure that zombies sweat? The shadow line on the first shot can also be fixed in post but might take more work than the shot warrants. It's not really a showstopper for the likely use if the image. cheers, mj. Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?
